RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY
Borys Ivnyev, PhD, MD, Professor In 1987, Borys Ivnyev graduated with honors from M. Gorky Donetsk National Medical University (DNMU), majoring in “Medical Care”. In the same year, in accordance with the recommendation for scientific work, he was accepted to the Department of Normal Physiology of DNMU as a senior laboratory assistant. In 1991 he defended his PhD dissertation, and in 2001 – his doctoral dissertation. In 2006, he was awarded the academic title of Professor of Physiology. Until 2014, career of professor Ivnyev was connected with DNMU, where he worked as an associate professor, professor, dean of the medical faculty and the first vice-rector. After moving to Kyiv at the end of 2014, he worked at the Department of Physiology of Bogomolets National Medical University. Since the fall of 2015, he is the Rector of PHEE “Kyiv Medical University”. Scientific activity of Borys Ivnyev is connected with theoretical and practical aspects of experimental and clinical neurophysiology. The study of morphology and physiology of the brain is what his entire scientific path is dedicated to. He identified the features of morpho-functional connections of the cerebral membrane with the structures of the limbic system. Borys proved the existence of a spatial organization of neurons of limbic structures that have projections on the nuclei of the membrane. His doctoral dissertation highlights the neuronal mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease development as a model of premature brain aging. Borys Ivnyev first discovered the features of cognitive auditory and visual evoked potentials of the brain in case of Alzheimer’s disease. He developed and used their frequency spectrum to analyze the evoked potentials of the brain. He also showed a specific topical organization of the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex during the development of a dementia. A comprehensive neurophysiological study of this problem has made it possible for the first time to develop methods for the early diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer’s disease. In 2002, for his “Alzheimer’s disease” scientific monograph, Borys Ivnyev was awarded a diploma and the prize of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. Among his scientific interests, he also studied the mechanisms of stem cells’ influence on cognitive and motor functions of the brain in ischemic disorders. Today, the research of professor Ivnyev is devoted to clinical neurophysiology, studying the peculiarities of the brain functionality in case of a chronic pain (scientific program with the University of Verona, Italy) and certain mental disorders (addictive disorders, schizophrenia). This helps to bring the results of research closer to a practical use. The main feature of his modern scientific direction is the study of neurophysiological mechanisms of psychotherapy as one of the main methods of modern mental rehabilitation of post-traumatic stress disorders. This project is supported by the European Society of Hypnosis in Medicine and Psychotherapy (ESH) (UK). The practical result of these studies was the “Living with mental disorders. Existential and personal aspects of recovery” monograph (2014). This work was continued in a form of the co-authored “Physical, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine: Neurorehabilitation” textbook (2020). For his work on the prevention and rehabilitation of addictions, Borys has been awarded state awards. Borys Ivnyev is the author of 5 scientific monographs, 3 textbooks for students of higher medical education establishments, 235 scientific articles on neurophysiology, psychiatry and the organization of the educational process in a high medical school, and 6 patents. He is a member of the editorial boards of scientific and practical journals like “International Psychiatric, Psychotherapeutic and Psychoanalytic Journal”, “Ophthalmology”, “Dermatovenerology and Cosmetology” and “Bioenergetics in Medicine and Biology”. International scientific cooperation continues with International, Interdisciplinary, Interreligious Research Group On Consciousness Studies (a branch of UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights, GdN Neurobioethics, at APRA – Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, Roma, Italy), as well as with the Research Council of the European Hypnosis Society in Medicine. Borys conducts extensive scientific and public activities. He is a member of the European Society of Neuroscience, the International Association of Alzheimer’s Disease, the Ukrainian Physiological Society, Vice President of the Association of Psychiatrists and Psychoanalysts of Ukraine, a member of the European Society of Hypnosis in Psychotherapy and Medicine (Ukrainian representative), and a member of the International Society of Hypnosis (ISH).
